Why did Albert Einstein say eureka?
He was quoting the exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who is said to have cried out "Eureka! eureka!" (I have found it! I have found it!), Eureka is Greek for "I have found it". Archimedes said it when he discovered how to use water displacement to test the purity of gold.
How can you use the word eureka in a sentence?
I finally found it! Eureka!!
How to use the word eureka?

Why is an Eureka can called an Eureka can?
a eureka can is called eureka because many years ago Archimedes was in the bath and he found that when he got in the water rose this is because he took up space in the tub he then said eureka that is why.
How do you measure the volume of a piece of metal?
You'd use a "Eureka can!" If you fill a cup or special container completely full and submerge the object you want to measure in the water then water will be displaced by the object. If you collect the water and measure it in a measuring cylinder then you will have the volume of water displaced, which will be exactly the volume of the object. The "Eureka can!" is named because of Archimedes discovery or displacement and density which allegedly caused him to run naked down the street shouting "Eureka" in celebration.
How do you measure 3 water balloons in water?
Using the eureka can or the water displacement method.
What is the eureka beaker?
The eureka beaker is a beaker to find out the density of irregular shaped objects. Archimedes invented it when he stepped into his bath and saw that the water level rose. He shouted "Eureka!" which means "i have found it!".
What is an eureka can method?
A 'eureka can' is basically a container with a spout. The spout is positioned a little distance below the top of the container. It is used to find the volume of usually an irregular obect by immersion into water and displacing a volume of water equal to the object's volume. To find the volume of an object, the eureka can is filled with water. The water spills out level to the rim of the spout. The obect is then lowered into the eureka can. The name of the can comes from the legend that Archimedes when getting into his filled-up bath, he realised that the volume of water that was spilled over was equal to that part of him that was in the bath...and thus "Eureka!", Ive found it! The eureka can is also known as a displacement vessel. Hope this helps

A 'eureka can' is basically a container with a spout. The spout is positioned a little distance below the top of the container.

To find the volume of an object, the eureka can is filled with water. The water spills out level to the rim of the spout. The obect is then lowered into the eureka can. Water, equal to the volume of the obect, is spilled out via the spout into a measuring container and thus the volume of the object can be discovered. The name of the can comes from the legend that Archimedes when getting into his filled-up bath, he realised that the volume of water that was spilled over was equal to that part of him that was in the bath...and thus "Eureka!", Ive found it!
